Quite happy to throw the club to the wolves over the head of that, but not to take back a proven player with no nation-wide stigma attached We should absolutely be looking at Ray Grant, even if he’s 50% of the player that left us he would still walk into that absolute rabble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigGuy Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I'd also take David Goodwillie back tomorrow! He could have a rather fruitful partnership with LJ. Edited May 2, 2022 by TheBigGuy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLClyde Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Saw someone suggest Robert Thomson from stenny, led to believe he’s going to Stirling but 6 goals in league 2 isn’t someone we should look at anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob731 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Out of interest, has anyone actually seen Ray Grant play for Stirling Albion? Hard to make “sign him” statements after him being released by a L2 team…and not seeing him play.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're now called Glasgow United and are now moving to the other side of the railway track at Greenfield. I knew they had changed names. What's the plans for the current ground then do you know? Not good that players like Carrick, Thompson and Leitch would rather stay in League 2. They would've been realistic targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good that players like Carrick, Thompson and Leitch would rather stay in League 2. They would've been realistic targets. Looks like a development of the five G pitch with floodlights in Duror St. Taking a guess the old ground being punted is part of the funding package to bring Greenfield up to basics ie cover for a 100 punters and obviously making the ground enclosed, turnstiles etc and some sort of pavilion/dressing rooms. Maybe looking at something like a two sided stadium like Renfrew. In the end the old ground at Shettleston was two sided anyway. Then it would onwards off the park to getting a SFA licence and into the big Scottish Cup. No idea what the name change was about. Does Glasgow Utd sound better than Shettleston. Don't suppose it matters. I watched them many times pre the pandemic and the home crowd had completely collapsed. Long way from 8000 at a Wednesday afternoon Scottish Junior Cup replay in 1959. Sadly the pyramid might have came far too late for a few of the old city ex Junior clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would've been realistic targets. The thing is (and I said this last summer too and was practically laughed out of the park despite it being obvious) at this level you'd rather be challenging at the top of a league than fighting relegation. Those players will have been sold on Stirling's ambition to go up next year with Young having a full season. They're already settled and from what I know, Stirling has a good dressing room. They would likely be paid more by Stirling too. So you're really going to be asking players if they want to begin the season with a club looking to win League 2 (feasible now without the likes of a Cove or a Kelty) with boys they're pally with on decent money, or jump to a new dressing room most likely to join a relegation battle at a club that's essentially a laughing stock and derided by the entire country. We have a recruitment team whose job is to sell us as a club to potential targets, but we know from experience that they just don't do that.

SLClyde Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Not that Falkirk were any good but 10 released from there, Charlie Telfer seemed decent out the lot that are going. Paul Dixon maybe worth a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Telfer seems to have a decent amount of talent but is a bit of a shitebag by all accounts. If he doesn’t get a full time offer somewhere and is forced to go part time, then we could maybe use that as a rocket and get a more motivated player. However, there’s no way we’ll be in for a player like that - he screams Kelty to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually not so sure, he'll want to stay full time so I think Queen's Park, QotS, Ayr or maybe Morton would be more likely. Kelty strike me as having too much forward momentum to be signing Falkirk cast-offs at this point, but maybe they'll go for it. I certainly don't see him as being an upgrade on what they have currently. If we're talking about signing Falkirk cast offs, Paul Dixon and (at a PUSH) Gary Miller would be the only two I'd be interested in but I'd be very surprised if they were interested in joining Clyde. Both could likely hang on for a full time deal at clubs like the aforementioned lot, and if they were to go part time there are much more attractive propositions than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Players released by Falkirk/QP would be a target for me. Not the youngsters but established first team players. We are very much a different environment, certainly compared to Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
